We were disappointed in this park. We scheduled it only to see the lions that climbed trees that is advertised and promoted everywhere. Our safari guide said that it has become very difficult and rare to spot lions in trees in this park. He said that there was a better chance of seeing that in Tarangire National Park. His words...

Lake Manyara National Park was the first place that we visited while on safari with National Geographic Expeditions. This was one of Ernest Hemingway's favorite places in Africa.
This park is a forest and it challenges its visitors because the wildlife blends in so well. Our drivers and safari experts were amazing. They spotted both animals and birds with ease...

Unless you are an avid "birder" or have limited time, this park does not offer a lot of game. Most of the park is covered by an alkaline lake. It is famous for the large flocks of flamingos, which had migrated away as it was their breeding season. It is also famous for the tree-climbing lions, which are not really...

The scenery was lovely to and unexpected - I didn't realise it would be so green...

This was the first stop on our Safari. Very nice place. Easy to drive around. Got up close and personnel with some Elephants including little baby elephants. Saw lots of baboons, Giraffes, Hippos, beautiful birds, Buffalo and more. Scenery is stunning.
